Adelaide is renowned for its classic, turn of the 20th century sandstone villas - and here's one of the most appealing examples around. Born in an era of elegance, this residence now has a new story to tell about rich period personality and contemporary comfort.

The eye-catching sandstone facade is introduced by a welcoming front garden, neatly secluded behind a high hedge. Step inside to a wide, arched hallway that leads to four original rooms, all spacious and with classic features pleasingly preserved.

The formal living or dining room, equipped for the grandest occasions, and three bedrooms are all invitingly framed by polished baltic floors and high ceilings. All four of the original rooms also feature fireplaces and ceiling roses.

While the front part of the house puts on quite a show, the rear is all about modern luxury. A well-appointed kitchen connects to a spacious casual meals area and family room, which are kept toasty in winter by gas heating.

The home's clean, crisp colour scheme proves irresistible, as do such features as the opulent main bathroom, over-sized laundry with stacks of storage, summer-friendly evaporative cooling throughout, separate additional w.c., powered garden shed and dripper-system.

There's easy access to the gloriously green alfresco dining area and north-facing rear garden. This outstanding natural asset is tastefully laid out and lit at night, to inspire family enjoyment and good times with friends.

The position of this immaculate character residence allows you to stroll to shops, boutiques and eateries, or jump on a tram at a moment's notice. It's the best of all worlds the village charms of historic Goodwood, near the CBD and cosmopolitan vibe of King William and Unley Roads.

For fans of the timeless appeal of early Adelaide architecture, it's the perfect chance to immerse yourself in a sense of grandeur, while also meeting almost every lifestyle and location wish you can think of.
